Psalm 26

Psalm 26New Living Translation (NLT)

Psalm 26

A psalm of David.

1 Declare me innocent, O Lord,for I have acted with integrity;I have trusted in the Lord without wavering.2 Put me on trial, Lord, and cross-examine me.Test my motives and my heart.3 For I am always aware of your unfailing love,and I have lived according to your truth.4 I do not spend time with liarsor go along with hypocrites.5 I hate the gatherings of those who do evil,and I refuse to join in with the wicked.6 I wash my hands to declare my innocence.I come to your altar, O Lord,7 singing a song of thanksgivingand telling of all your wonders.8 I love your sanctuary, Lord,the place where your glorious presence dwells.

9 Don’t let me suffer the fate of sinners.Don’t condemn me along with murderers.10 Their hands are dirty with evil schemes,and they constantly take bribes.11 But I am not like that; I live with integrity.So redeem me and show me mercy.12 Now I stand on solid ground,and I will publicly praise the Lord.
